PS CC Shake Reduction filter

"Members of Adobe Creative Cloud had access to Photoshop CC. A great feature in this version is the Shake Reduction filter. It analyzes the image looking for the direction the camera ‘shook’ and corrects for the movement. The results can be dramatic. In this post I’ll talk about how I used this filter to sharpen images a recent trip to Europe including those of the famous Irish Clonycavan ‘bog man’." - Paula

Lightroom Killer tips

"And for those who use or are even just curious about, for a month, Matt Klokowski is blogging about LR and how it can be used as a stand-alone product. The name of his blog is Lightroom Killer Tips and they certainly are: simple, straight-forward, easy to understand and apply. Go check it out: http://lightroomkillertips.com/" - Paula

Photoshop Elements tip

"Ok here is a little experiment with Elements 10 but you could do it probably with any version you have. There is a straightener tool and I used it. Then I used the clone stamp tool to fill in the blanks on the edges. It is crudely done as I wanted to do it quickly but it would be simple enough to be more artistic about it so it wouldn't be obvious like it is here. The point was just to try it." - Paula

Please note that March’s meeting will be a field trip to Gig Harbor for a behind the scene’s tour of DPI Printers. Our member Tanya will lead us and will being sharing interesting printing jobs as well as sharing print ready criteria for sending a job to an outside printer.
